@tonyjack - have you thought of upgrading your cables?
Todays components really are better than many systems allow them to be. Upgrading the cables allow modestly priced components to excel to levels I did not think possible
I’ve achieved great improvements in sound quality on reasonably modest components (i.e. $400-$700) by using quality cables with them.
- improved clarity and details
- fast dynamic response
- spacious and well defined image
A good place to start would be Audio Envy Cables - excellent cables for a modest outlay - great bang for the buck
Zavfino are also very good, with their TOTL cables costing a little more for stellar performance.
I started with the interconnects and then upgraded the power cables also on both my Schiit Bifrost, which I then replaced that with my Node2, both of which stepped up their performance level with good cables.
Hope that helps - Steve
